connecting to web server

[ralphr]

When I start a new project I am unable to connect to any of our webservers. The message that I get back is:

Object Not Found (Error Code = 80070005)

I am able to connect up to IIS running on my local pc.

On our development box I have tried removing and re-installing the server extensions, checking the server extensions. I know at one point that we were able to connect up to the box, and I am unaware of any changes made to the server.

TIA,
Ralph

You have a permissions problem. If you're trying to connect to a web server as an anonymous user, which is usually the case, then that user does not have read (or some other) permissions to the default page or directory on the server, or to another page, file, directory, or process that the default page is referencing in some way.

If when connecting you are prompted for a username and password, then that username lacks the permissions it needs.

This also happens when the web server is attempting to create a COM object on the user's behalf. If you suspect that to be the case, then you'll need to grant the permissions using the dcomcnfg.exe utility.

How do I set this up so we can connect through interdev?

Not entirely sure of the problem, but try this:

You must ensure that Frontpage Server Extensions has been installed on the server, and enabled for each web that you wish to connect to. VI uses FPSE as its communications channel - to transfer files from the server to your PC over HTTP rather than FTP. You sometimes get errors when FPSE has been upgraded on the server. Each web should contain a range of _vti_xxx directories - you could delete these and run the FPSE admin tool to rebuild these directories. You can even copy these directories from a web on your local PC.

The annonymous user is called IUSR_servername. You can use the File explorer to ensure this user has read permissions to the root web of the server. I would be suprised if this is not the case.

Interdev Server Extensions provides the DataEnvironment support (for simplified SQL use) and some other tools. It is probably not needed for interdev to 'see' another server.
